Why East Asian Medicine?

East Asian Medicine is the oldest, continually practiced, academic professional medicine in the world. Historians have reported that for over 500 years, more people have benefited from acupuncture than the combined total of all other healing sciences, both ancient and modern.

I’m Michele

michele r sumpter lifestyle eastern medicine acupuncture wellness holistic

Combine a kind heart, quick wit, a dash of grit, and over 19 years of experience, and you’d have me: Michele R. Sumpter, Louisville acupuncturist. Throughout my practice, I’ve been honored to serve patients with a wide variety of medical conditions across all age groups. I pride myself on my ability to adjust my technique to accommodate those wary of acupuncture needles. I love and value the diversity of our community.

After earning my Master of Science in Acupuncture from the Colorado School for Traditional Chinese Medicine and becoming a board-certified acupuncturist with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), I became one of the first acupuncturists certified in Kentucky. Prior to my return to the Derby city in 2013, I also taught at the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

In my free time, I love music, sailing, and exploring the beautiful world in which we live with friends and family.

"This summer my allergies were the worst they had been in years and my prescription and over the counter medications were not helping at all. My neighbor recommended Michele as she had seen her for the same problem with great results. Within a week the severe symptoms were gone. No colds! No flu! Good energy! I truly look forward to going to see her. She has done much more for me than to take care of my allergies and I highly recommend her.”

Well-Care Concierge House Calls

Is it time to introduce your household to the concepts of East Asian Medicine for easy at-home preparation, storage, and use? Now, more than ever, good health practices are the key to preventing illness.

The need for personalized care is at an all-time high, creating a shift toward an enhanced amount of time in our homes, thus making a healthy home environment one of utmost importance.

My approach is solely on treating the person first with Kentuckiana's first East Asian Medicine Concierge Service, including:

 

1. Developing a relationship getting to know your habits and how you can add holistic practices into your daily lifestyle.

2. Unhurried service. Time is spent talking, taking inventory of your priorities, and exploring ways we can develop a customized well-care concierge plan for you and your household.

3. Attention to fine details to ensure every area of your wellness needs are fully attended to.

4. Convenience of calling, texting, or emailing to get directly in touch with me, your well-care advocate.

6. Cost transparency so you know exactly how to plan your budget.

 

I invite you to give acupuncture an opportunity to compliment your current method of healthcare millions of Americans have already discovered the far-reaching benefits of these ancient and seemingly mysterious procedures.

 
 

Herbal Consult

Herbal supplements are an integral part of East Asian Medicinal practice. An herbal formula might be suggested to assist your treatment and add support to your body so that you get the greatest benefit from your acupuncture sessions. Not only are these formulas safe when prescribed by a qualified practitioner, they are highly effective.

Herbal remedies may be taken in various forms, including raw, granular, and patent formulas. In this consultation, which can be held in the comfort of your own home over video chat, we will discuss your symptoms and I will advise you on the best herbal remedies for your specific needs.

Cupping & Gua Sha

Cupping and Gua Sha are East Asian Medicinal techniques that use small glass cups as suction devices. These cups are placed on the surface of the patient’s skin to dispel stagnation and congestion by drawing congested blood, energy or other humors to the surface.

Gua Sha is an East Asian Medicinal technique involving the soft but firm and steady scraping of a patient’s skin. The strokes stimulate microcirculation of the body’s tissues and blood vessels, increasing blood flow. Gua Sha is used to address the body’s stagnant energy, called Chi. Rubbing the skin’s surface is believed to dispel the stagnant energy, thereby reducing inflammation.

If you are interested in learning how to apply cupping techniques at home, please see my video tutorial on cupping (coming soon!).

Electroacupuncture

Electroacupuncture involves the passage of electrical energy through acupuncture points.

This electrical energy is delivered via a battery-operated electronic device which is attached to the acupuncture needles.

Electroacupuncture treats many of the same symptoms and ailments that acupuncture can be used to aid, from pain management and anxiety to nausea and skin conditions.

Moxibustion

The medicinal use of smoke and fire, or Moxa, is a widely used and beneficial therapeutic treatment best used as a complement to existing medical treatments.

Patients undergoing rehab therapy can greatly benefit from the use of Moxibustion to maximize the speed of recovery. Patients receiving treatment for a number of illnesses also benefit from Moxa to alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms and side effects that often correspond with traditional Western medical treatments.
